All academic and residential  buildings on campus are wired and extensive wireless connections are  also available.

[size=3][b]University research[/b][/size]
5]\ [ s n Acadia’s  undergraduate program requires honours graduates to complete a thesis  with a faculty supervisor. This means undergraduates gain valuable  research experience and the benefit of working closely with  experienced, well-respected faculty members. A considerable amount of  research at Acadia is performed on environmental issues and community  engagement. These areas include the study of species at risk, material  science, drug therapy, exercise and nutrition, and the impact of  technology on social and cultural development. The K.C. Irving  Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens are  world class research facilities located at the centre of campus. In  addition, the Acadia Centre for Microstructural Analysis is a unique  Canadian centre, capable of performing imaging and analysis of  compounds and structures. Acadia’s small size means graduates and  undergraduates work side-by side with researchers, learning the skills  required for entry into industry and graduate programs.

Acadia has  exchanges with universities in England, Scotland, Wales, Australia,  U.S., Hong Kong, France, Germany and Spain (a list of participating  partners is on the Registrar’s website). Acadia has formal, active  exchange agreements with institutions in nine countries.
